Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter examines the policy response to artificial intelligence in education (AIed), outlining this policy discourse's unique characteristics. To do so, we examine the policy rationalities emerging in the Israeli context, describing both actors and organisational logic, and the depictions of AIed in Israeli policy documents. AIed policy work materialises in liminal and intermediary bodies, whose policies organise around techno-business rationalities and collaborations, thus accentuating the power relations between the high-tech sector and the education system. Finally, we suggest that AIed policy rationalities are characterised by an 'AI-shaped hole', which reflects three key tensions concerning AIed's characterisation: inevitable-unknowable, disruptive-strategic and aims-means.
